On the Table

About This Movie

So, 'On the Table' is this intriguing short animation. It’s definitely got that psychedelic vibe, almost like stepping into a surreal dream. You can feel the atmosphere shift with every frame—colors swirling and blending in a way that pulls you in. The pacing is a bit erratic, which adds to the trippy experience, making it feel like time is stretching and compressing. Masanobu Hiraoka’s work here is distinct; it feels less about narrative and more about an emotional journey. And while there's this fluidity in the animation, there’s also a striking use of practical effects that’s worth noting. It’s not your typical standard—makes you rethink what animation can be, really.

Short runtime makes it easy to fit into any watch schedule.Perfect for those deep dives into experimental animation.Pairs well with other avant-garde shorts for a unique viewing experience.
